I dropped the floor lamp off at his house and was able to pick it up two days later. He had some good suggestions about replacing the old harp. The lamp was repaired and ready to go when I picked it up.
Description of Work: I needed a light socket replaced on an antique lamp and got Gil's name through Angie's list.

I called Gil, after I saw his listing & explained what I was needing done. He gave me directions to his home, told me when he would be available ( he works 4 days per week), then called me the morning of our meeting to confirm an approximate time. When I arrived at his home, he looked a both lamps, told me what he could do, what he might not be able to do, and promised to call when the repairs were finished. I would use his services again and highly recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: Gil is extremely professional. He told me up front what he would be able to repair and any barriers that might occur if he could not perform requested repair. I had both lamps back within 1 week (excellent service), He is very competent and honest is his dealings with customers.

I called Gil's Lamp Repair, left a message and my call was returned the same day. He was very professional and explained to me his operation, business hours and gave me alternatives on how to best utilize his service. I spoke with Gil on Monday night, dropped off the lamp as instructed on Tuesday morning. Early evening Tuesday (same day) I received a call that the lamp was ready for pick up and he described all of the services performed. I picked up the lamp, purchased a new shade at the store that was recommended and I have a new lamp that my wife will be ecstatic about this evening. We thought the lamp was beyond repair. Gil worked a miracle and we will be forever grateful. I highly recommend Gil's Lamp Service for any of your electrical repair needs. This was a fantastic experience.
Description of Work: Gil fixed an iron metal lamp that was almost destroyed totally from a terrible mishap. The rod was bent and he replaced, the socket was completely damaged, and the brackets were all bent beyond recognition. Gil, found a rod, and used steel wool I believe to get the finish as close to the original as possible, bended the frames, post lamp shade fixtures back together as well as replacing the socket. Then he suggested a company where I could replace the lamp shade. My experience was wonderful.

I dropped off the lamp in the morning, got a call that evening telling me the lamp was fixed, and picked up the lamp the next morning. This was a great experience for me.
Description of Work: We had a faulty dimmer switch on our lamp & a wobbly light socket shaft. Gil fixed both in less than 24 hours. I picked up my fixed lamp the next morning! Would definitely recommend him for lamp repair!

I contacted Gil and left a message. A few hours later he returned the call and explained that I could leave the lamp on his breezeway and that he would call me when the lamp was repaired. Because of all the great reviews that I read on Angie's List that explained this exact same process, I decided to do it. Sure enough, within 24 hours, I received a call from Gil saying the lamp was repaired and I could come by and pick it up anytime. When I went to pick it up, Gil met me at the door and proceeded to give me a very brief education about lamps. This man knows his lamps!!! He clearly loves what he does and enjoys the work. I would give business to him again in a heartbeat.

Great. I called & left a message that I needed lamp repair. Gil called back later that same day and gave me drop off instructions, etc. On the same day that I dropped off my lamp for repair, Gil called me back and told me what my lamp needed and how much it would cost. I gave him the go ahead to do the work. The day after that he told my lamp was ready to be picked up.

The repairs went well overall, without reservations.
Description of Work: Gil repaired 6 lamps, 2 per week, over a 3 week period. He replaced several harps, lamp sockets, felt base pads, and tightened several vetical bars to secure the lamp sockets. He used good materials, and charged entirely reasonable prices. I'll use Gil again should the need arise.

I contacted Mr. Bunton on February 28th and arrange to leave my lamp the following day. That evening he called me saying the repairs were completed and we made arrangements to pick up the lamp the next evening. Mr. Bunton replaced the defective on/off switch, adjusted the light bulb socket so that the new style light bulbs would work and replaced the bottom felt. The lamp works and so my wife is happy. Everything went like clockwork.

New puppy ate the lamp cord too completely to repair with electrician's tape (lamp's on a switch, which was off; puppy was uninjured). Took the lamp to Gil's one afternoon, Gil called to say it was ready the next morning. The price was reasonable. The lamp now works. I can't ask for anything more.

No snags. Mr. Bunton gave me the option of leaving the lamp in the breezeway while he was at work or dropping it off at a time when he'd be at home. The lamp had little monetary value, so I opted to drop it off when the time was convenient for me. He called within 24 hours to tell me what he'd done, how much it would be, and when I could pick it up. I am very happy with the work he did.

I dropped the lamp off with a note after talking to Gil earlier. He called me the next day to tell me what he found, made suggestions and asked me for my preferences. All in all, it was a three day process. I have used Gil's services before and I would never use anyone else for lamp repairs. He's prompt, reasonable and friendly which makes it a pleasure to use his services.
Description of Work: Gil replaced a cord and a broken part that allowed my reading lamp to swivel.

I was very pleased! When he repaired the base he had to hunt for an appropriate one and then paint spray it to match. It took 2 different sprays to get it right.
